The Jones pick was to get the 100 def rating guy to help with double teams in the front court. Was pretty sure I would get Miller, Murphy. or another 3 pt burner that sucked defensively. Jones is 98% at SF and he might play there.

I don't know. I originally traded with dh555 because I knew that I had to move up to get Boozer. Then the McAdoo bug bit me . . . the 25 usage, 73 defense and almost 600 FTA's were too much to pass up. Plus, I like the fact that he can pretty much play 40 mpg in this league. I added Calderon in the 4th to get a efficient PG that can shoot and pass for a fairly cheap price. Manu is just one of my favorites. There's still some holes to fill that's for sure.

I am not a fan of the NFL, as it functions as the two minute hate in our country (being America, it is an all day hate, naturally, and on Sunday to make it extra blasphemous), but I have been sick in bed with a sledgehammer case of the flu all weekend and took in some games.

Dont know how many of you saw the Cowboys game, but that was the most blatently dishonest, grotesquely fixed case of officiating I have ever seen in a pro sport game of any sort. We are talking South American Soccer here, US Davis cup team on the road here, Seattle\Pittsburg Super Bowl blizzard of bullshit here...... I mean there is no adequate comparison.... it was Olympic Boxing fixed.

So my question is, granted that we have differing religous beliefs and most of you arent ready to recognize the NFL serves a function that is intrisically evil, who would you follow a sport as blatantly, painfully corrupt as the NFL is?

How much effort does MLB put into running a clean sport: drug testing, embracing instant reply, professional Umpire schools, harsh punishments for all non-Yankee cheaters? It is hard to run a pro sport clean, a lot of mony swirls around games, but it is doable. Some sports try, others very obviously dont.

My favorite in the Cowboys game was in OT when the Dallas receiver caught the ball, took two steps under control, had the ball slapped out of his hands, and the announcer seriously intones " he obviously never had control of the ball". Well **** yea, who am I gonna believe, you or my own lying eyes?

Texas perforce will go its own way when the financial collapse of the USA occurs. Really hoping to be back in the Pacific Northwest where I grew up and know how to live off the land before that moment.

Okay scudmissle how are you affording all the this salary now that you just added a $10 million man in Spencer Haywood? What are guys doing in this league anyway drafting 19K minutes and then just dealing with the fatigue issues? The ODL is a new animal to me. Hope my team doesn't get crushed by all you sharks and tigers out there.
